Anyone found employment recently?

DigbyDevon

Hi all,

Has anyone had much luck finding a job as of late?

Everyday I am applying for all sorts of jobs and at best I might get 1 interview every few weeks which then goes nowhere. I don't even get a response or "Thank you but you have not been successful" email afterwards. 

I was on the phone to a lady from the National Careers Service and she told me that she was struggling to find a new job herself. 

Has anyone got any tips or advice if they have been successful? 

Thank you

  • When I was in the job centre a few months ago I was reminiscing about the days when you could go into the job centre and actually look for jobs.

    Nowadays they have a table with a large quantity of leaflets, many of which are several years out of date (think council tax rebates/cost of living payments from a few years ago). Not too dissimilar to the nearby library which stocks leaflets advertising a phone app for local doctors' surgeries... which was discontinued two years ago in favour of the national NHS app.

    FWIW I did see a job in a filling station today, but I don't want to work in retail and its not really worth a 22 mile round trip anyway for a job like that.
